Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Vying for Truth -- Theology and the Natural
Book SynopsisThe emancipation of the natural sciences from religion was a gradual affair during the last four centuries. Initially many of the leading scientists were churchmen indicating a symbiosis between faith and reason. Due to the increasing specialisation in the sciences this close connection came to an end often leading to antagonism and mutual suspicion. This book traces this historical development with its twists and turns in both Europe and North America. It depicts the major players in this story and outlines their specific contributions. The main focus is on the 19th and 20th centuries with figures such as Darwin and Hodge, but also Beecher and Abbott in the 19th century. In the 20th century the narrative starts with Karl Barth and moves all the way to Hawking and Tipler. Special attention is given to representatives from North America, Great Britain, and Germany. In conclusion important issues are presented in the present-day dialogue between theology and the natural sciences. The issue of design and fine-tuning is picked up, and advances in brain research. Finally technological issues are assessed and the status of medicine as a helpmate for life is discussed. An informative and thought-provoking book.

Peeters Publishers De Zenon D'Elee a Poincare: Receuil D'etudes En
Book SynopsisL'oeuvre de Roshdi Rashed se deploie selon deux directions principales: la naissance, dans les Temps Modernes, des mathematiques sociales et de la theorie des probabilites d'une part, et l'histoire des sciences exactes (mathematiques, optique...) a l'epoque de la Renaissance de l'Islam classique d'autre part. Cette oeuvre de longue haleine n'a cesse d'elargir la connaissance que nous avons de ces dernieres, par l'edition et la traduction de textes nouveaux, la reconstitution des traditions conceptuelles dans lesquelles ces textes s'inscrivent, ainsi que par la mise en resonance de ces traditions. Elle agit en meme temps comme une genealogie de certaines formes de la mathesis moderne. Sans manifeste ni discours sur la methode, les travaux de Roshdi Rashed proposent un approfondissement constant de la tradition de l'epistemologie historique illustree par Gaston Bachelard et Georges Canguilhem. C'est pourquoi ces travaux ne laissent indifferent ni l'helleniste, ni bien sur l'arabisant specialiste de champs connexes, ni le medieviste, ni les specialistes de l'histoire des sciences modernes. C'est ce dont temoigne ce recueil d'etudes, dues a d'eminents collegues de Roshdi Rashed et a ses eleves.

Peeters Publishers Le Darwinisme
Book SynopsisCharles Darwin marque profondement la culture occidentale, bien au-dela des sciences de la vie. Son ouvrage L'origine des especes non seulement revolutionne le monde scientifique en proposant une theorie coherente de l'evolution biologique, mais il bouscule les grands systemes de pensee qui dominent son epoque. Ses ouvrages posterieurs concernent le comportement humain et elargissent encore considerablement la portee philosophique de ses positions. Comment comprendre le personnage de Darwin lui-meme? Quelles sont les idees centrales de son apport scientifique? Comment interpreter l'evolution de sa pensee tout au long de son ouvre gigantesque? Comment analyser les enjeux philosophiques et societaux de tels apports? Michael Ruse, historien et philosophe des sciences, est un des meilleurs connaisseurs mondiaux du darwinisme. Il propose ici un ouvrage de grande ampleur. Dans un style dynamique, qui preserve toute sa faconde et son humour, Michael Ruse nous confie les reflexions d'un chercheur chevronne qui integre dans une synthese magistrale les conclusions de trente annees de recherche nourries par une culture scientifique et historique impressionnante.
